Beauty is not in the face, beauty is a light in the heart.-Kahlil Gibran
Antlers? Halo?
I found this image a dancer framed by another dancers arms on a photo I took during a parade last weekend. I became fascinated with it and worked it through a number of apps to see if I could get it to look the way she feels to me.
Like Fall Equinox
that moment
when everything is in balance
and anything can happen
before we tip into winter.
Mary Oliver says it this way:
its rich spiced residues: vines, leaves,
the uneaten fruits crumbling damply
in the shadows,unmattering backfrom the particular island
of this summer, this NOW, that now is nowhereexcept underfoot, moldering
in that black subterranean castleof unobservable mysteries – roots and sealed seeds
and the wanderings of water. ThisI try to remember when time’s measure
painfully chafes, for instance when autumn
flares out at the last, boisterous and like us longing
to stay – how everything lives, shifting
from one bright vision to another, forever
in these momentary pastures.

All your interpretations showcase the dancers is slightly different ways that evoke layer soy human lives. Happy Photo Challenge.

I think I like the colors and abstract quality of the last one best, Carol. The arms appearing to come out of her head are interesting!

All of the treatments are so lovely. I think the more abstract, the better, to obfuscate what looks like antlers coming from the profile subject’s nose and skull. 😀
